Every year Tiers Is a tendency 70
pick hops too early. Pickers BEGIN 70
crowd IN, before the hops are ripe,
with tie fear IN their minds that they
may miss an engagement; while, on
the other hand, growers become rest
less, fearing lest they msy rniss getting

early. Times without number Il has
come within our kncsIsdge, and have
had Like experiences, where thepickine
commenced a least 3 week too early,
md IN consequence immature hops
were put on the market.
Another source Of heavy loss 70
growers Is the inclination 20 engage
too heavy q force, thus causing an ar
tlhcial or apparent scarcity OF pickers,
which in turn encourages unreasona-
bic demands from the pickers. This
too OfteR results in concessions frum
growers, not provided with pickers, in
paying 3 bonus, or mourning expense

ether ways not here necessa- y 10 men

part Of the loss. In such cases there
Is 3 constant contest on the part ol

on the part Of the grower 10 hold

Rock island Survey.

Just east of Colby, on Monday last,
three white tents were pitched, and at
tracted the attention of our citizens. In
quiry developed the fact that the occu-
pants of the tents were a surveying par
ty sent out by the Rock Island r. r. On
Tuesday, CAT reporter visited the camp
and was courteously greeted by all the
party. From the manner of the greeting,
it was easy to perceive that the generous
Rock Island employs gentlemen, and
that surliness is disapprOved among
them. The CAT reporter was introduced
to the chief surveyor of the party, Mr.. F.
II. Peters, who welcomed him into tent.
Mr.. Peters very kindly, in answer to our
inquiries, told us that their party consist
ed of himself, two assistants, Messrs. j..
NJ. W. Fisk and F. G. Hyde, and ten
men. That the party had started about
August LIST, from Phillips county, with
general directions to make preliminary
survey west towards Denver. The pre-
liminary survey will be through Lauter-
bach's, just south of Colby, but just
where the permanent survey would make
the road strike the town Mr.. Peters was
unable to say at this time. The party
survey. on an average, about five miles a
day. 1t will be good thing for Thomas
county and Colby when the Rock Island
strikes this county, aswill be likely some
time early next summer
